Just saw the Credits on Countdown, the letters and numbers quiz show made by Yorkshire for Channel Four.

I notice that fellow Granada company Tyne Tees now get a studio resources credit... I know it used to be made in Leeds - has it moved to Newcastle as a result of Wellbeing being made in Yorkshires Leeds studios?

Wondered if any of you YTV/TTTV types knew anything!

All that Richard Whitely has said is that they are up in Newcastle for a 'short while'. Seems temporary, but not sure if it's due to Wellbeing.

It was to do with Wellbeing, who had to move of their regular studio (3) to studio 4. Countdown went to Newcastle for a short while. All this not long before they announced the end of live programming for Wellbeing!
